Well, I imagine it’s boring to anyone else, but we did tape it and threw it up on Youtube for posterity. There were some newspaper and blog articles as well.

2012. We did it off site, though, cause the con said no, and we would have had to do a flash mob type thing to manage, so instead we rented a trolley and went to Marietta to hold the actual wedding at the Strand Theater, and then came back to DragonCon. ^__^ It worked out really well. Was fun watching everyone’s faces

None of my exes did, but my husband? Wooooaaaah boy.

Yeah, since we costume, we’ve worn the Time Lord robes quite a bit. My favorite pictures of us in them are not even from the wedding, but 8 months later at a different convention:

We did the handfasting and everything. And both me and my husband were in the robes. The robes are velvet, with gold braiding, and the headdresses were layers of canvas and wire and stiffener with more gold braiding and laser etched medallions. I had a matching dress underneath in red and gold duponi silk, and he had

I utterly forgot to do any of those kinds of traditional things. No bouquet tossing, no toasts or family photos all in a row, no father/daughter dance, none of it. I was too distracted by all the other things we were doing, like a pipe organ concert of science fiction theme music, and the ridiculously awesome bbq we

What’s sad here is that a lot of Barnes and Nobles ARE trans-inclusive. The one I worked at back in 2001 was very inclusive, we had a lady who went through transition when I worked there. She was a long-time employee and was a well-known manager during her male years, and was transitioning when I was hired. She was

I’d die if I couldn’t drink pasteurized milk. Raw milk gives me the heebee jeebees. I think I’d have to be there on the farm with the cow as they milked her in order to get over my Raw Milk Has Germs And Will Kill You thing. There’s too much that can break down in the chain of raw milk to store to table for me to

I shall! Also, I always want to ask people who don’t like milk if they eat cheese or butter. I know lactose intolerance can make any dairy miserable, but considering that I know people who despise milk cause “cow tit squeezings” but eat cheese, I wonder how the cognitive dissonance doesn’t make them deaf. Not that I’m

And the thing is, everyone has that thing they find super gross. I can’t stand coffee or tea, and I think it’s because I’ve got super bitter tasting issues, cause no matter what you do to coffee or tea, it’s still so so bitter to me. And vinegar-based things, like pickles, soooo gross.

I can’t tan, either. Course, there’s Irish in me as well as Scandinavian, and I think the Irish won the battle for my skin. Also, cool rocks feel sooooo good. And I wish I could wear yellow. My mom can. It makes me jealous, I love yellow.

You will wrest my milk from my dead Scandinavian body. Also, it’s like one of three drinks I can even drink anymore cause of allergies. I think I will go have a glass of milk right now. Milk.

I used to beg my mom to take me to Toy's R Us so I could sit there and play the game. I oved that game.

It's amazing to me how much more put together I look if I do my eyebrows, regardless if I do anything else. And unless I'm at a convention where I'm going to be photographed, or doing a fancy night, then I don't bother with foundation or even powder. And mascara is for special times, because my eyes are so sensitive

That looks awesome, but hoboy that's expensive! I'm such a cheapie, I've been using the same giant tin of Mehron Translucent Powder for years and years and years, because I got it for cosplay makeup and found it works really well on my skin. I don't dip into the tin, I've been putting it into other containers, and

I actually use one because I prefer to use translucent stage powder instead of pressed, because I'm pale as hell and none of the pressed powders ever look good on me. I found a nice antique compact and I use a powder brush instead of a poof, and I get some on the brush and swirl it around the inside lid. It doesn't

You will pull my milk glass out of my cold, dead corpse. It's one of the few drinks I can even drink any more, and it is the tastiest drink ever. I pity all of you who did not inherit the superior gene of Adult Milk Digestion. I am a true Swedish American, I drink all the milk.

Oh, you are right! I keep getting the two mixed up. I tend to buy the store brand meds, which are labelled with the specific medication name instead of a brand name. The only one I tended to use brand-name was Aleve, because the store brand tastes SO MUCH WORSE. Like, I'm swallowing a pill, the mere touch of the

I'd more more upset about it too if I wasn't aware of the propensity for people to call something by it's most popular brand name instead of the actual item name. See also: Coke for cola, Tylenol for Ibuprofin, etc.

Is that what he might be saying? I've seen that skit a zillion times and he gets all mumbly right there and NONE OF THE EPISODES HAVE SUBTITLES.
